Chapter 17: Ancient-level Trickster
"Welcome everyone to the Huangquan Auction House. I am Xue Fei, the person in charge of this auction house. I am also the auctioneer today."

Driven by the majestic ghost energy, Xue Fei's charming and beautiful voice also resounded throughout the venue.

"It's Xue Fei, wow!"

"Xue Fei is so beautiful today!"

"Xue Fei, I love you, marry me!"

Under the stage, a group of male weirdos couldn't help but cheer and express their admiration.

"Xue Fei has already felt your enthusiasm."

"But Princess Xue still hopes that everyone will devote their enthusiasm to today's auction items, because today's auction items include an ancient treasure and an ancient weird weapon."

The corners of Xue Fei's mouth rose slightly, revealing a charming smile. That charming smile made all the opposite sex present fall in love with her.

"Ancient level! Are there still treasures and tricks of this level today?"

"Ancient level, it must cost at least 10 million Dark Stones, right?"

"Hey, for something of this level, we can only feast our eyes on it today."

"An ancient-level spooky weapon, it's on par with a ghost king!"

……

At this moment, Mo Ling, who was leaning against the window sipping tea and eating pastries, his eyes lit up when he listened to Xue Fei's description. Then the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

These two things were the purpose of her trip.

Ancient-level weapons and treasures are not something you can easily find at street stalls.

Every single one of them, if taken out, would definitely trigger competition among all the major forces to grab it.

And now, at this auction, two ancient-level strange weapons and treasures appeared.

"Baby, this time, just buy whatever you like. Don't worry about the price."

"Those two ancient weapons and treasures are our primary goals on this trip, so no matter how much it costs, we must get them."

Mo Ling was also very generous in transferring the bidding rights to Ye Ling.

Mo Ling's actions really made Ye Ling feel like he was being kept by a rich woman.

But this is indeed the case.

Which good person drinks red wine worth millions of Hellstonecraft stones in one meal?

What kind person would spend tens of millions of Nether Stones to buy a human slave?

Only a wealthy woman like Mo Ling could do this, right?

"No problem, just keep it on me!"

Ye Ling also said so confidently.

He is not good at making money, but does that mean he is also good at spending money?

Downstairs, the auction has officially begun.

On the display stand of the auction stage, a pair of scarlet eyeballs floated in a glass bottle filled with unknown liquid.

"Today's first lot is a pair of strange pupils, a rare strange weapon. After fusing with this pair of strange pupils, the holder can use pupil skills to shock and imprison the enemy. The lower the enemy's cultivation, the longer the shock and imprisonment will last. The longest time a target can be shocked and imprisoned is ten seconds."

"The starting price is 100,000 Dark Stones!"

After some introduction, Xue Fei also gave a quote.

But Ye Ling remained unmoved.

First of all, this thing needs to be integrated into your body.

Will I be considered a human being or a weirdo by then?

Secondly, Concubine Xue did not explicitly state that the other party’s cultivation was higher than hers.

This means that this thing is likely to be useless against enemies with a higher level of cultivation.

However, Ye Ling's disinterest doesn't mean that the weird group below are not interested.

"I'll offer 110,000 Dark Stones!"

"I'll give you 120,000!" "150,000!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Two hundred and fifty thousand once, two hundred and fifty thousand twice, two hundred and fifty thousand three times!"

"Congratulations to buyer No. 0075 for winning the bid. This pair of strange pupils is yours."

The next few items also did not arouse Ye Ling's interest at all.

Red embroidered shoes that can teleport a certain distance.
Can bind the enemy with a rope.

A strange mask that can change its appearance and temporarily increase its strength.

All of them are rare level or below.

Ye Ling didn't even have the urge to raise a sign.

However, thanks to Xue Fei's eloquence, these things unsurprisingly once again caused a scramble among the weird people at the scene.

"Everyone has to be 120% alert for the next lot!"

"Because it is also the first ancient-level weird weapon in our auction today!"

At this moment, Princess Xue also changed her previous warm smile and spoke solemnly.

Mo Ling, who was bored and eating snacks and sipping tea, also stopped, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at the valuable item covered by expensive silk below with her narrow eyes, "Here it comes."

"Ah."

Ye Ling nodded, his face solemn.

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Princess Xue gently lifted the silk on the crystal protective cover to reveal the exhibits inside.

This is an exquisite square jade pendant that emits an extremely elegant fluorescent green light.

On the jade pendant is vividly carved a majestic giant turtle, which is none other than the famous Xuanwu.

A giant snake that seems to have infinite power is coiled around its body, and the two are intertwined, presenting a mysterious and shocking picture.

The majestic ghostly aura emanating from the jade pendant actually made all the bidders present feel palpitations.

"How dare you act rashly against a dead thing!"

Just as the invisible pressure rushed to the private room on the second floor, Mo Ling snorted coldly.

The next moment, the majestic ghost energy seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying. It quickly retreated and shrank into the jade pendant.

Seeing this, Xue Fei also raised her eyes slightly and looked upwards, and her eyes met Mo Ling's.

Almost instantly, Princess Xue withdrew her gaze.

Firstly, because Mo Ling was a distinguished guest, his behavior was extremely rude.

Secondly, the ghostly aura that was so thick that it was tangible did not seem to be a product of her current realm.

But in terms of strength, there is not much difference between them.

Xue Fei did not dare to delve into this matter further. She could only smile apologetically at Mo Ling and turn her attention back to the items for auction.

However, Ye Ling on the side noticed this keenly.

Why is it that even though their strength levels are similar, Xue Fei seems to be very afraid of Mo Ling?
And this is definitely not just because Mo Ling is a distinguished guest of the auction.

But right now this item is the most important, so Ye Ling put these doubts behind him.

At this moment, Princess Xue also began to introduce this ancient-level strange weapon in detail.

"This strange weapon has a special name, called the Black Tortoise Heart Protecting Jade. It is made of a piece of ancient jade that has gone through thousands of years, a strange strange core belonging to the ghost king level, and the back shell of a three-headed black turtle that has reached the peak level of evil ghosts. It is made through an extremely complex refining process."

"Its function is simple and direct, yet extremely powerful and violent, and that is to be able to successfully resist a full-strength attack equivalent to that of a peak Ghost King."

"In other words, if you are lucky enough to possess it, then even if a ghost king at its peak strength appears in front of you, you will still have a chance to escape."

"Also, it's worth mentioning that this jade pendant is not a one-time consumable item, but its defense function can be reset once a day."
